How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[JackFross]

When looking at an A8S progression set, I try and maintain melds identical to what I'm using on my BiS, so I don't need to get additional g5 Materia. The only ones I'm /sort of/ willing to swap are accessories and the belt, since that's just 1, not 2, but even then, I'd rather not be spending millions of gil or hundreds of hours on re-outfitting gear once my pieces drop.

The set I'm working toward has a boatload of excess accuracy that gets cut down the second the chest drops, since my crafted chest is rocking 3 Acc 4 melds, and I have Acc melds in a few key 0 sks pieces that are also on the BiS set (namely the pants and hat). It's a little tricky, and makes me sad, since it's nearly impossible to maintain that beautiful 600-1000-600 without the two A8S drops.

It's WAY overstuffed with Accuracy, but swapping out the Accuracy becomes /easy/ the second either piece drops. It's hard to drop Acc from there, since every single piece you could do it on will give a huge chunk of additional Skill Speed. Either drop cuts a significant amount of Skill Speed out and allows you to pretty easily drop Acc for extra.

The chest just slots in ~perfectly~

And the Spear would only require swapping boots.
